The christion Advocate, New York.

The Christian AdUocdte. New York,
speaks of the Andover idea of future pro-
baton for those who never hear of Christ
in this world. as "a dangerous doctrine
which it hoped to see rebuked and driven
out" of Andoyer. Now, as a matter of
fact, the future probation" idea is not a
doctrine" but merely . conjecture, or
something considered as possibility, pred
icated on the supposition Of some people
that some other people, who haven't heard
the Gospel in this lite and haven't had an
opportunity of receiving or rejecting it.
will have chance for eternal life on the
other side Of the grave. Even this is not
taught at Andoyer, but Andover professors,
in lectures, sermons aud books delivered
and published on their own responsibility.
outside of Andoyer, proceed to try to show
that if any class of people do not have 4
fair chance for salvation this side of the
grave, God will give it 10 them on the other
side. There does not seem to be any dyna-
mite in this. The larger number of Chris
tians believe that all men have fair chance

The bill permitting the use of bicycles on

Bicycles and tricycles may now be used

it was the principal object of the
wheelmen to secure this privilege The
opponents of the measure were timid peo-

Old Providence,
ffrt. IG

A new vicar was appointed some five
years ago at Crayton. He was good man,
but emphatically townsman, and one OF
those worthy persons who rarely speak OF
God, though very frequently Of 'provi-
dence." One Of his earliest pastoral visits
was one Of coincidence to a small farmer
who had lost his wife and been left desolate
and alone. The good vicar spoke such
comfort as he could, and more than once
Insisted on the obvious truth that the Or
dering Of "Divine Providence" must not be
murmured at, and that "providence"
must needs be submitted to with resigna-
ton. The sorrowing farmer listened pa
tiently and silently for some minutes. AT
last he could refrain no longer, but he
opened his mouth and spoke, saying:
"That's right enef, that esl There amt no
use gainsayin' on it; but somehow that

sion Mt Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 2.-There was large at
tendance at to-day's session OF the Intorna-
tional Sunday School Union. A resolution
to substitute the "Sabbath" for "Sunday"
was referred to the executive committee
"Better organization" was then discussed,
the first speaker being Rev. w. II. Bailey,
Of Kentucky. He said twenty counties had
been brought into the union within three
months In Kentucky, aud within thirty
days every county would be organized.
canvassed every school district In the state
from house TO house.
Mr.. Bailey said that there were several
states and territories which Gould not do
their work alone. These needed places
must be reached by the international asso-
citation.
Mr.. w. H. Hall, of Connecticut, spoke
with reference to the International work as
1t was applied In that state. Speaking OF
the necessity for volunteer work he said (;
Paid missionaries were better than none at
all, but salaried canvassers could not do
everything, the grand triumphant sadyance
could only be effected when the rank and
file Of the army moved forward.
u. G.. Wheeler, Of Oregon, spoke on
Better Organization" on the Pacific slope.
They had adopted Robert Winthrop's cry
Va btu loT CNcIy bbubt uuu othJB IOI
every star" There were pressing needs
on the Pacific slope. They needed more
money, more workers. The speaker said,
as secretary OF the district he represented,
he was supposed to cover 1000, 900 square
miles, and for that vast territory they
needed aid from those eastern states able to
accord assistance.
The Rev. DIR. Julius Grammar, Of Mary
land, read paper which he had prepared
on Sunday school organization. III Mary
land, he said, every county was banner
county, the organization being complete.
Much effective missionary work had been
done by colored men, and the speaker
thought the church should take heart The
Sunday school tended to bring Christians
OF all denominations closer together, and
establish closer bond OF faith and charity.
The Rev. d. b. Ward, of Dakota, made a
ringing address. He said that the Sunday
school workers in Dakota were not inter
ested In the division Of the territory; they
knew no north, no south; they had 1000
Sunday schools. The speaker paid a high
compliment to the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, and said they hoped before
many months to send all the beer kegs
In Dakota through Montana and into the
Pacific ocean. fApplause.1
Il. A. Mott, Of Minnesota, said he was
glad to follow the representative Of the
state OF Dakota.
A Voice. Territory, you mean.
Mr.. Mott. No, sir, state. Dakota is q
state, but Congress has not found 1t out
yet.

ANOTHER BIG DISCHARGE
Takes Place at the Government Print
ing Onlce.

Yesterday evening, about five minutes
before the whistle blew to stop work In the
government printing Office, twenty-five un-
fortunates received their. diplomas from
the public printer and graduated. Seven
teen were employees Of the bindery, two
We're from the document room, one from
brakes room, two from the specification
room, one from the job room, and two were
females from the:press room. In addition
to these one hundred Of the employees were
furloug he'd for two weeks--Hity from the
bindery and fifty from the document room.
The necessity for this action was said to be
on, account OF the shortness of the
appropriation. A singular feature OF
the discharge was the fact that
not more than two or three were Grand
Army men. One OF the employees from the
document room is colored man-the last
but one Of the many colored compositors
that were there six months ago. The
other unfortunate from the same room was
an old soldier with good record, both us
fighter and printer. AS there are no
charges OF ineflciency against any OF those
discharged, 1t is but fair to suppose that the
discharges are political.

Of ceremonies stepped to the footlights and
said he wished he had one Of those men

he might see what boxing was like. An
ominous silence followed. The second
round was a little sharper, and conse-
quently more satisfactory to the audience,
although there was as much scientific work
displayed in the first. In the third
round Kilrain took turn at the
hitting, which had heretofore been
pretty well monopolized by Mitchell.
There was some applause at the close. In
the fourth round there was considerable
give and take and both men hit frequently
and hard. Mr.. Madden informed the audi

boxing they had ever seen, which remark
